IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Ventilation
Install your TV where there is proper ventilation. Do
not install in a confined space such as a bookcase.
Do not cover the product with cloth or other
materials while plugged. Do not install in excessively
dusty places.
If you smell smoke or other odors coming from the
TV, unplug the power cord and contact an authorized
service center.
Do not press strongly upon the panel with a hand or
a sharp object such as a nail, pencil or pen, or make a
scratch on it.
Keep the product away from direct sunlight.
Short-circuit
Breaker
Power Supply
Never touch this apparatus or antenna during a
thunder or lightning storm.
When mounting a TV on the wall, make sure not to
install the TV by hanging the power and signal cables
on the back of the TV.
Do not allow an impact shock or any objects to fall
into the product, and do not drop anything onto the
screen.
Dot Defect
The LCD panel is a high technology product with
resolution of two million to six million pixels. In a
very few cases, you could see fine dots on the
screen while you’re viewing the TV. Those dots are
deactivated pixels and do not affect the performance
and reliability of the TV.
Generated Sound
“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that occurs
when watching or turning off the TV is generated by
plastic thermal contraction due to temperature and
humidity. This noise is common for products where
thermal deformation is required.
Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing: A low level
noise is generated from a high-speed switching
circuit, which supplies a large amount of current
to operate a product. It varies depending on the
product.
This generated sound does not affect the
performance and reliability of the product.
Take care not to touch the ventilation openings.
When watching the TV for a long period, the
ventilation openings may become hot. This does
not affect the performance of the product or cause
defects in the product.
If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a small
“flicker” when it is turned on. This is normal, there
is nothing wrong with TV. Some minute dot defects
may be visible on the screen, appearing as tiny red,
green, or blue spots. However, they have no adverse
effect on the TV’s performance. Avoid touching the
LCD screen or holding your finger(s) against it for
long periods of time. Doing so may produce some
temporary distortion effects on the screen.
DISPOSAL (Hg lamp only used in LCD TVs)
The fluorescent lamp used in this product contains a small
amount of mercury. Do not dispose of
this product with general household waste. Disposal of this
product must be carried out in accordance to the regulations
of your local authority.
Preventing “Image burn” or “Burn-in” on your TV screen
If a fixed image displays on the TV screen for a long
period of time, it will be imprinted and become a
permanent disfigurement on the screen. This is “image
burn” or “burn-in” and not covered by the warranty.
If the aspect ratio of the TV is set to 4:3 for a long period
of time, image burn may occur on the letterboxed area of
the screen.
Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV screen for a
long period of time (2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more
hours for the Plasma TV) to prevent image burn.
